MODERATORS
was that during sprint tho?
It's just a quote from the article. Point being it shows how unpopular events in Qatar are.
That said I think it was a sprint.
Next year, a few (6?) weeks later
That looked like such a miserable experience for everyone involved. What a stupid location.
Not safe for women or lgbtqia+ people, hot as all hell, located in a place that has nothing to do other than attend this race. Why would anyone go here
Could not said it better myself
FIA would like to argue tho: they do give them a lot of cash
At least it was interesting on TV. But honestly: not worth it
